New to the Swan's nest is fabulous knitwear by designer knitwear label Electronic Sheep. We present for you their AW collection Pipes and Pyramids. A self described voyage of ancient discovery the collection creates imagery inspired from the travels of ancient explorers set out to unearth new and exotic lands.

The wanderlust to the New World by pioneer Sir Frances Drake provides images of exotic fruits, herbs, sea life, native america and of course tobacco pipes. Also inspiration is taken from the iconography of a more modern USA, all of these knitted together, with spots, stripes and tassels.

The tasty treats at Swanfield include knitted triangle scarfs and oversized pieces, beanies berets and bobble hats. These pieces are so wearable with other collections in the Swan's nest. Mix and match with the tassels of Jenny Jenny jewellery or the heritage fabrics from Cecilia Hammarborg's winter coats.

‘Swanfield on Tour’ was set up in December 2008 by Cecilia Hammarborg and Katherine Pont from Mine - both active and creative fashion designers in East London - they were joined by artful cupcake maker Lily Jones ( aka Lily Vanilli ) & a collective of other artists, musicians & designers who contributed to the pop-up boutique events originally hosted every Sunday on Swanfield St near Brick Lane.

First stop was 3 Lowndes Court in the Newburgh Quarter for the summer of 2009…

Second stop leading up to christmas was a residency at 1.2 Kingly Court between Carnaby & Kingly Streets in Soho…

Third stop, the swans flew east for the summer of 2010 with an exciting venue beside the legendary Hoxton Boutique at 2 Hoxton Street in Shoreditch...

Fouth stop, we returned to our nesting place at 1.2 Kingly Court for christmas 2010.
